## **AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF MIDLANDS WOMEN’S AID**
The aims and objectives of this organisation were established to assist women and children who were in necessitous circumstances and in particular those women and children who had suffered from violence and maltreatment in their own homes.
- To provide refuge where such women and their children could enjoy temporary rest and protection from attack or persecution.
- To assist in providing education, housing, legal and medical advice, financial support for themselves and their children.
- To provide ongoing support to a woman who has been rehoused as, and if, necessary.
- To support where possible women who preferred not to seek refuge.

## **INTRODUCTION**
Welcome to our Annual report for the year 2021-2022.
I am pleased to report that after many years of uncertainty regarding sustainable funding, our organization started this financial year with a healthy bank balance. This has allowed us to extend our support staff team. We welcomed two members.
It has been another challenging year due to the COVID pandemic however as usual our dedicated staff have faced these challenges to ensure the delivery of our support service continued with minimal disruption to our client group.
We would extend our thanks to all the groups and individuals who have supported Midlands Women’s Aid during the year by donating money, clothing and other generous gifts. We have listed them by name on a separate page, however we would extend a special thanks to all our supporters whose names we do not know who have contributed to our fundraising activities throughout the year. They do not know how much their contribution are appreciated by the staff and clients.
Catherine Saunders (CEO)

## **REFUGE TEAM LEADER’S REPORT**
Our organization has learned to live with the pandemic and have worked hard to ensure that any disruption to our services have been kept to a minimum. We continue to experience delays in major maintenance work due to outside firms suffering staff shortages and materials. This has also had an effect on local authority and social housing stock availability, resulting in delays in allocating properties to our clients. This means that families residing in our safe accommodation are forced to stay longer periods. Two families were with us for fifteen months
This year we welcomed two new members to our support team. They have become valued employees and are fully committed to or work.
We are proud to provide clean, comfortable and welcoming accommodation.
The main Refuge building provides for 7 family bedrooms each with en-suite facilities, residents share the communal areas which consist of two kitchens, 2 communal lounges, a laundry room and a playroom. Outside we have a play area however on inspection it was found that it no longer conformed to safety regulations and we were forced to close it. This will be explained further in the Children’s services section.
Also, we provide 3 self-contained units, located close by the main building and allow for families with older boys, families with complex or special needs and pets.
Communal lounge;
7
A bedroom. On arrival we provide a welcome pack consisting of basic essentials:
One of TWO of the communal kitchens :
9
A self-contained Unit: These allow us to admit families with older boys and families with complex needs.
We provide support using an individual support plan tailored to each person. The plan helps identify the support required and allows us to work with the client to build confidence, increase self-esteem, help them come to terms with the abuse they have experienced and work with them to help them reach their full potential. Clients are encouraged to take part in workshops and sessions around healthy relationships, safety planning and are empowered to organize and fully take part in making decisions which effect their lives
11
Here are some case histories of the families we have supported this year. We hope this highlights the needs, the difficulties they face and shows the recovery process they go through.
## **Case Studies :**
**1** .R and her child were admitted due to fleeing Domestic Abuse from her ex-partner. R had experienced emotional, physiological, and sexual violence. R and her child also had traumas from Abuse which had occurred over a number of years from a family member, and their partner. R has both physical and mental health difficulties. During their time with us, we have supported both Mother and child to access Therapy, build their self-esteem, emotional support, more knowledge around boundaries, and healthy relationships. We have also helped the family with practical skills: budgeting, debt, benefits, housing, and any other support needs.
The family resided with us for 11 months and in that time we were with them every step of their journey. They were eventually rehoused and settled well in the local community.
Feedback from Mum; _“I couldn’t have done it without you, you showed me that I am wonderful strong person with a value”_
**2.** S was admitted fleeing domestic abuse from her ex- partner. She had suffered physical and emotional abuse, her injuries often resulting in hospital treatment. S stated this type of abuse had been ongoing for the past 2 years, progressively getting worse and she had now become fearful of losing her life.
S had always worked full time and been in control of her own finances. She had to give up her job and flat. She was supported in refuge to apply for benefits and housing. S was very emotionally distressed on arriving into refuge and suffering with her mental health, experiencing flashbacks and symptoms of PTSD. Our initial aim was to support her with this and she was encouraged and accompanied to GP and mental health appointments.
Due to the severity of abusive incidents, there was police involvement. Initially she did not feel confident to engage with the Police however we supported her through the process to enable the case go to Crown Prosecution Service. S was given a great deal of emotional support to help her regain her confidence and self-belief. Feedback _:” My ex-partner almost destroyed me, I didn’t recognise myself. With the support I received from you, I found myself again and I now know I deserve better.”_
12
**3.** J and her three children were admitted fleeing domestic abuse from her husband and his family. The abuse was honour based, physical, sexual, financial and emotional. J stated that the abuse started when she was a child and continued into adulthood.
J was born in Sri Lanka and English is her second language. When arriving into refuge J had little confidence due to the abuse. Whilst staying at MWA J received support regarding her emotional needs, housing, children’s support, life skills and finances. J also attended the Freedom Programme and started volunteering at a local community centre baking cakes and cooking food for the café.
This support enabled her to gain her independence and confidence and understand the signs of domestic abuse. After 12 months of being in refuge the family were offered a house. We felt they were ready to move on and ready to start their new chapter in their journey. J made a speech in our house meeting and stating that Midlands Women’s Aid had saved her life. J thanked us all with a cake.
And finally a big thank you to all who have supported Midlands Women’s Aid over the past year, especially over the Christmas period, with the kind donations, time, experience and money. Their generosity made a huge impact on our families.

## Children Refuge Service
As a Children and Young Peoples Domestic Abuse worker it is my responsibility to work with children to overcome the trauma of witnessing or experiencing Domestic Abuse.
Almost two third of the residents in refuges are children, the majority of whom are of pre-school age. I provide stimulating play opportunities to encourage children from all backgrounds to develop and express themselves, as well as support children with homework and literacy. We also refer children to wider support services, including counsellors and children’s centres
When a child or young person arrives, they are often left traumatized and often have to leave everything behind such as family, friends, school and toys. My initial task is to help settle them into Refuge.
Due to COVID-19 trips and outings have been limited however we have run activities in the refuge.
The trips we have attended are:
- Horse riding
- Cinema
- Nature reserve
- Farm

## **EQUAL OPPORTUNITES POLICY.**
## **Declaration of Intent**
Midlands Women's Aid provides temporary accommodation, support and advocacy to women and children experiencing violence and supports their long-3term future needs. This means challenging the abuse of women and children.
Midlands Women's Aid is committed to the principles of equal opportunities. Midlands Women's Aid is working towards the elimination of all types of violence against women. We are also working towards the elimination of all forms of sexism and racism.
We will ensure that we endeavour to combat direct or indirect discrimination in our employment practices and in our management and provision of services and will work to achieve these ends.
We intend that equal opportunities become a reality in practice and not simply a paper commitment. We will seek to implement a programme of positive action to make this policy fully effective by ensuring that no Midlands Women's Aid Trustee, job applicant, employee, volunteer, service user or agencies and other women’s aid groups that we work with receive less favourable treatment on the grounds of race, colour, class, nationality, ethnic or
national origins, cultural origin, religion, marital status, sexual orientation, disability, age, union activity or responsibility for children or place of residence.
## **Guidelines for Carrying out the Declaration of Intent**
The responsibility for implementing the Declaration of Intent lies with the whole of Midlands Women's Aid although the Trustees will be expected to carry the employers responsibility.
The Declaration of Intent will be posted publicly in the Midlands Women's Aid office and will also be made known to all members of the organisation, employees, volunteers and service users.
15
Acceptance of the policy is a condition of membership of Midlands Women's Aid. The purpose of the Equal Opportunities policy is to set out clearly and comprehensively the steps Midlands Women's Aid intend to take to ensure equality of opportunity and combat direct and indirect discrimination in employment practice, management structures and practice, in service provision to individuals and groups and agencies and in its relationship with other groups.
## **Customer Care Policy**
We aim to give our service users the highest quality of help and assistance to ensure they receive equal treatment taking into account their cultural and individual needs. In the event that they are unhappy with the service or the facilities provided there is a complaints procedure in place. Each service user will receive a handbook outlining services and policies, which includes the Complaints Procedure.
16

22 women described bruising to all parts of their bodies

16 women reported financial control
17
When asked about past injuries, women described them as follows: strangulation, body bruising, bruised eyes, rape, threats with knives, pushing and pulling, coercive control, financial and emotional abuse.
When asked what they believed had caused the violence the response is always the same. Women described the following: “He’s jealous” “He says it’s my fault”, “He says he has a right”. “He thinks he owns me and the kids” Others blamed drugs and alcohol, jealousy, mental health, insecurity and ‘his upbringing’.
Of the women admitted, 4 had had healthy previous relationships. All had experienced violence and controlling behaviour from their ex-partners.
Most women described their childhood as happy. Other women described domestic violence between their parents, violence to themselves.
When asked if there were any circumstances under which they would accept being hit by a man, all women said no.

## **TREASURERS REPORT**
Our core income comes from rent income and funding from Ministry of housing and local government (MHCLG). As our service is in great demand we little voids.
The current MHCLG funding ends 31[st] March 2022 however we have been allocated a further sum for financial year ending 31[st] March 2023. After years of financial uncertainty, this together with a healthy reserve will provide financial security for at least three years. Also, we have been awarded a three year support contract by Nottinghamshire County Council commencing on 1[st] April 2023.
Beeston Consolidated Charity, a long-time supporter, continue to provide for their annual grant £24,000 for a full-time support worker and £12,000 toward the Children’s Worker post.
Salaries remain our major expenditure. Our long time supporters, Artex, a local firm, donated funds to allow us to carry out a refurbishment of our playroom and outside play area. We have been unable to complete some planned work due to shortages in building workers. We hope to complete the play area by Spring 2023.
